Where's a good place to meet a nice girl, anywhere is possible, but church, school, frozen food section?

I met the love of my life on line, and we really do intend to spend the rest of our lives together (so far, seven years!)

Trainstations, libraries, pavements, soccerclubs, The Late Show, City Hall, birthdayparties, doctor’s waiting rooms, M&M’s world, New Delhi, parks, lingerieshops, sauna’s, tropical islands, gyms, bicycle repairshops, Burger King’s, Baltimore, the Eiffel tower, etc.

I think rebbel is saying anywhere.

I like your “detailed description” section. LOL

So anyway, the best advice always is to hang out at places you enjoy, or at least like. If you like reading, then maybe go to a library or a bookshop. If you like sports…well, in that case, don’t bother, because girls generally don’t. But perhaps you could go to the gym instead. If you are religious, then go to church. If you like dancing…ah, what a lucky guy! You’ll have the widest choice of all!
If you’re talkative and can start a conversation (any conversasion), then you could meet girls anywhere: at the supermarket, the disco, the bus stop, even in a lift if you’re fast enough. But if you’re shy, then it’s going to be a problem. Then you’ll need some sort of situation where you get to talk due to the rules of the social interaction. For example, I’m in a theatre group and all of us ended up becoming friends with everybody else really fast. There are some 15 girls in my group, almost all are good-looking. Unfortunately for me, most of them are taken, except 1 that is not my type (very sexy though) and 2 that are too young for me. But generally it is the perfect environment for meeting people (not just girls, but friends in general). So perhaps you could pick up a similar hobby?

Where you least expect.

strip clubs usually have the nicest girls….. oh wait, that’s the freakiest girls. If you want to meet a nice girl listen to @rebbel

@Jack79: Girls don’t like sports? Uh… time to check your calendar. I think most girls like a sport or two of some kind.

The beach,pools,wherever there’s water there’s a lifeguard.Mostly , but not always girls and who knows if they save lifes because they’re nice or not :(

@seVen – Come again?

I’m with @Jack79 – do something you enjoy, and you’re likely to meet people there who enjoy the same thing – and some of those people will be nice girls. There aren’t really places where “nice girls” congregate – you can find them almost anywhere, if you look hard enough!

I, too, agree with @Jack79 – join a group centered on some activity you enjoy and then enjoy it. You might meet the girl of your dreams there, or you might just have a good time and make some friends. Either way your time is enjoyable and not wasted.

That includes sports, BTW. There are cheerleaders and female fans of almost every sport. However, you could increase the odds by watching women’s soccer/football instead of men’s.

Make a list of all of your interests, hobbies, and worthy causes that you believe in. Find groups/organizations that you can join or places where you can volunteer your time that relate to your interests, etc. Focus on giving back and learning. When you do, you’ll meet like-minded people. You’re also more likely to find someone who shares your interest(s) and committments.

Good luck!

I’m pretty much in agreement with the folks who say doing something you enjoy. I think the principle of the thing is to be in a situation where you can get to know each other slowly. You can see each other in a variety of situations, and have unpressured conversations before you start becoming a couple.

I met my first serious girlfriend on an outing club trip. We actually met underground, in a cave, believe it or not. We started talking while waiting for one of our party to climb up a chimney. I remember bouncing little pebbles off her helmet. How’s that for flirtation, eh?

My second serious girlfriend was one of her friends. We’d broken up a year or so, and her friend wanted to come live in NYC, where I was. For some reason, we’d been writing each other a lot. I was depressed about my loss of my girlfriend, and she was kind of depressed for other reasons, so we had that in common.

I met my third girlfriend at work. It was the kind of work that people did out of commitment, not for the money. So we were both idealistic and we both worked at the same place, and that gave us a chance to get to know each other before we started doing stuff together, privately.

My last girlfriend, who is now my wife, I met while dancing. It was something we both enjoyed, and the dance happened every week, so we had a chance to get together regularly to get to know each other slowly. Interestingly, I knew I wanted to marry her within a few weeks after we met. I didn’t tell her that at the time. I waited a couple more months, I think.

I think that work or doing things like yoga, or dancing, or working on political issues, or joining a book group—all have possibilities. You can also meet people at bars or on the street, but that’s more of a hookup kind of thing. I don’t think it’s a good way to find a relationship.

You can also use the internet. You can get to know people fairly well over a period of time if you hang out on social networking sites. I’ve heard many a story of a romance blooming online that later transferred over into meat space. I think it’s a bit more risky in the sense that you only know a person’s words or voice, and have generally only seen them through other media (photos and video). That leaves out a lot of information that is very important. You have no idea how a person moves in the real world.

On the other hand, if you’re meeting online, it’s probably with another person who has trouble in real life, and so you may share a kind of shyness, or other issues in common. In any case, I think it’s much easier to fool yourself about someone you’ve met online. You can fool yourself about real world people, too, but I think you can see through your fantasies more quickly in real life.

I was never a pickup artist, and I never felt good about meeting strangers in bars and whatnot. I think I got one date that way. I think that dating is a more pressured situation. You are essentially interviewing each other, and depending on the other person to accurately describe themselves. Or, if you are doing something besides food, it’s a movie or a walk, or some other activity that’s just the two of you. It’s not seeing each other in groups or doing something they care about. I think those situations help you know a person a lot better than dating does.

@Jack79 Theatre yeah I know a little about that heheh.

@Les I heard woman generally prefer men that play team sports, which makes a lot of sense. Means you function well socially in a group.

@rebbel Thanks. Thank you very much for sharing that information on the internet. I can cross of those locations from my list to meet women now. Thanks to you all women in those areas won’t be available when I finally have the chance to visit.

These pickup artists that are mentioned are not so common as we like to think. Meeting anyone is always so much easier while doing something you both like. You immediately have shared topics of conversation and at the very least have a good time doing it. Your chances on meeting ‘any’ girl are the exact same everywhere (unless you are living in a monastery in Tibet), you only meet ‘the’ girl after you started talking to her.

The way I have met all my S/O is through friends. I went out with them, or met up with different friends at different places and met new people through them. It’s a great way to meet someone without there being pressure of like a blind date or walking up to a stranger and introducing yourself. That’s what things like athletic classes, work functions, things like that are great for meeting new people

The other day I was shopping for phones, and I found the salesperson quite attractive. She was doing her job, trying to sell me a phone, and I asked her if her number came with the phone, alright! it didn’t but I’m considering stalking her

I wholeheartedly agree that it is best to focus on your own interests and hobbies. That way not only do you meet others with whom you have something in common, but you also have a good time regardless of whether you make new friends, meet a nice girl or not. I recommend Meetup.com for finding groups of people who share your interests.

No offense to anyone who considers themselves to be a “church person,” but I’ve noticed a marked tendency towards being nuts in girls that go to church to get a guy. Might want to be careful with those.
